Oh my, oh my, oh my. Do we have another lefty meltdown!

The blogosphere is abuzz with shouting matches about the publication of a discussion between Bush and then Spanish Prime Minister Asnar in the final hours before the invasion of Iraq. Lefties, who appear not to have read either the original Spanish version or the English translation, are hooting and hissing about what their masters in the MSM have told them the conversation implies.

A good place to start is at Pajamas Media, where the rout begins and then follow the links. As usual, the comments section at many of the linked pages is where the lunatics on the left get their best comeuppance. Once again the blogosphere provides the best and most efficient way of proving how stuck on stupid the left really is. Thanks to Barcepundit, a Spanish blogger who is a contributor to Pajamas Media, we now have an English translation of the original story which appeared in the Spanish newspaper El Pais.

Jules Crittenden's blog is a good example. As an added perk, a commenter on Jules Crittenden's blog named Rich Casebolt nails the case for war, too, in the sharpest, most succinct analysis I have yet to read.

And remember the leftards rallying cry about Bush's statement: "If you're not with us, you're against us." Well guess what. Those words are actually precisely what Hillary Clinton said. Here's an audio file in which you can hear her saying it. Scroll down to the phrase "Clinton pay price" and click on it. That's right, she says "Every nation has to be either with or against us. Those who harbor terrorists or finance them are going to pay a price."

Bush's statement, which is only a bit different, but in an important way, was in his Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People on September 20, 2001. His precise words were "If you are not with us, you are with the terrorists", which I take to mean you are enabling and encouraging the terrorists.

IMHO this includes not just nations, but most of the rabid leftards whose Bush Deranged Syndome continues to progress to advanced stages. "BDS sufferers" is just another way of describing the type that Lenin's referred as useful fools. These fools also remind me of Baghdad Bob, completely oblivious to the elephant in the room.

You can read and listen to the speech yourself at the link, but for those too lazy, or who have reached the advanced stages of BDS, this is the context in which the phrase "If you are not with us, you are with the terrorists." was made:
"Our response (to 9/11) involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen. It may include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations, secret even in success. We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime."
I've added a little emphasis in bold for BDS sufferers who have fixated on only what they see on the soundbites delivered via their television sets. I wonder if BDS is a terminal illness. If it is, it may in due course be terminal for many more people than just those with the affliction. Perhaps those who suffer from it, like the alcoholic, recognize that withdrawal and recovery can be a horrific struggle which, if successful, means they have to develop a new way of reacting to the world. That new way includes giving up their fairytale beliefs that outside of the Republican party, there is no greater evil.
To the leftards out there, please, for your own sake, and for the sake of others who you will drag down with you, read or listen to the entire speech. Learn and recover.
